FAKUEKS. ijhe Herald-Disseminator of Sunday had a poetical effusion on the taMff, in which there is a faint plea for the farmer and his interests. This pretence of the Herald that it stands for the fanners' interests is dnilv Wnminir exploded. The farmers are opening their eyes to the fact that the man or newspaper that resists every effort to remove taxation from their shoulders is not,nor in the nature of things can be.tlieir friend. The Herald resists all attempts to reduce taxation, except internal revenue, and attempts to make men believe that to make them prosperous and happy they must be taxed heavily. That paper.in con senuence of its political affiliation with the Chicago platform can no more claim to promote the interests ot tarmers ana agn culturists than the wolf in the fable protect ine the lamb.catina and devouring it. The Democrat can see no reason why the farmers should not receive the same con sideration in the legislation of the country that other classes receive. As an example : The Democrat heartily endorses the pro vision In the Mills bill putting iute and jute sacks on the free list Why ? Because iute is not -raised in this country, and very nearly all the sacks used by our farmers are manufactured in Calcutta- So that the heavy duty of 40 per cent ad valorem, (that is to sav S-ioon every $100 worm import ed,) is a direct tax upon the farmer without any excuse whatever. The tax is not needed by the government and there is little or no labor to protect. This tax will amount to between $25,000 and $30,000 on thelurmers of Linn county alone this year. The Democrat would remove this tax and retain the tax on whisky. The Herald in obedience to its platform says before it would give up any part of this protection on sacks,it would repeal the entire Internal revenue tax that is the tax on tobacco, whisky and oleomargarine. Which is the friend ot the farmer ? Let the farmer think and answer. The Democrat "would reduce the duty on the twine which farmers use so extensively in harvesting from 35 to 1 ner cent, while the Herald savs "no.before we would consent to giye up any part of the protection on twine we would lane tne tax from whiskv. tobacco and oleomare rine." The Democrat would remove the duty from salt, lumber, timber, hewed or uwal. staves of wood, pickets and palings laths, shingles, clapboards and dozens of other articles which are essential to tne -farmer and upon which there is no neces sltv of a dutv either for protection or rev -enue. The Htrald would do none of these things so unmistakably In the Interest of the farmer, but would give them free whis 1cy, tobacco and bogus butter. Could there be any doubt as to which Is the friend of the farmer ? None whatever. I he Uem achat makes no- pretense of being the spe cial orcan of the farmer or any other class of people, but would promote the interests of the great masses the greatest good to the greatest number being its motto, but it would do a better part for farmers than to give them free whisky and highly taxed necessaries of life. all labelled -4 5 per cent tax." Dishearten t ti,p lrht hls eves drooped lower and at his feet he beheld a screw labelled "12 cents a pound tax." Then glancing at his tattered pants he found .Hem uncucu "40 cen's a pound plus 35 per cent ad valorem lax." Taking off his slouch hat he found it labelled "iS cents a pound plus 35 per cent ad valorem." Hisbroom was labeled "J5 per cent tax," an old gun called "Ann Monopoly" was marked "35 Pf cent tax," !i r.mtllestlck "20 per cent tax."

The shingles on tne root ui iu dilapidated barn are marked "25 cents per 1000 tax." The bridle bit in the mule's mnnth is marked 3o per cent tax."

On the house and barn he saw the following notice posted by the Sheriff "To be sold for taxes." It was too much. It was more than poor, taxed human nature could bear, and he called for Johnny to get the gun to shoot the man who would talk to him about the beauties of high taxation. 81UN1F1CANT. One of the most significant and caustic political cartoons that has been published since the celebrated 'Uattoo" of four years ago, Is to be found in the current number of Puck. The scene is a farmer house, barn and barn yard. The characters in the scene are the farmer, his wife and son, all dressed in yery shabby garbs,and two "pro tected" heelers who are out to promote the election of Harrison. Both these gentle, men are richly attired with fine plug hats and easy slippers. The farmer stands on his kitchen porch with his wife and boy be hind him. One of the Harrison men stands in the yard with one foot resting on a stump, in his hand is a large poster upon which Is printed in capitals : "Blessings Of A High ' Protective Tariff Guaranteed By The Ben eficlent Rule Of The Republican Party." He pleads with the farmer to vote for liar rlson, dear clothing and free whisky. The farmer listens, not as one pleased,but with an indignant scowl that bodes no kindly feeling for Harrison "heelers." The pro tectionist orator says to the farmer :"Loek around you, my friend, and reflect that you owe the magnificent prosperity which you enjoy to our glorious Protective Tariff.' The farmer did loqk around and what did lie sec ? The first thing upon which his eyes fell was a wooden pump in his yard on the top of which was a tin cup labelled "45 per cent tax." Then his eyes drcoped and he saw the very paint on the sides of the pump labelled "45 per cent tax." Cast ing his eyes to the floor i pon which the pump stands and the very lumber was la belled "$ 1 per 1000 feet tax." Nearer him were his plow, rake, hoc, reaper and kettle, Notice of Removal. About the sickliest scheme to boost up Harrison is that of getting up excursions of voters to visit him. It now leaks out that the republican committee is manag ing the scheme and paying the fares of these people on the railroads. The rail roads being in the interest of Harrison have put fares down to a nominal figure and this is the bought enthusiasm which boosts Harrison up. Sickly it is.
